Note: Display and indicators depend on mode. The
iA5 is specially designed to work with the
iHome+Sleep alarm clock app. For optimized
compatibility, by default the iA5’s display will automatically deactivate and defer to a docked iPhone or
iPod touch’s display when the iHome+Sleep app is
running (active). To override this and keep the iA5
display on, exit the iHome+Sleep app then press the
display on/auto button located on the back of the
unit. Use the iHome+Sleep app to easily change EQ,
clock sync and alarm settings.
